It's easy to click

It’s easy to click when you’re browsing

As nobody knows who you are.

The world is right there to discover

So funny and cool and bizarre.

 

But you click on a link and it opens

A picture you wish wasn’t there

And now you can’t seem to delete it.

You’re not in charge, it’s just not fair.

 

If anything gives you that feeling

In your stomach that something is wrong

Then don’t be afraid, tell your parents.

To tell the truth shows that you’re strong.

 

I know that you think they’ll be angry

I know that you’re scared they’ll be mad

But they’ll be so glad that you told them

About something which you knew was bad.

 

Gillian Craig

I don't do anything online except my schoolwork of course because my mom and dad say that the internet is dangerous for kids to be on so only adults can be on the internet cause if I click on something by accident there could be a virus hiding behind it waiting for me so that is why my parents do not let me go on the internet. they only let me go on the internet when I am doing schoolwork or else my computer could get a virus. Even if I do not click on anything if I touch something I was not supposed to touch there could be a virus. So that is why I am not allowed to browse the internet.

My dad works in computer service. And every day he get phone calls and listens: oh, I click something... From adultes. So, I know, when something is wrong, I should just let my dad fix it. He need only few minutes, and everything is OK again.
